Another big Spring release has been slapped with a delay, as CD Projekt RED recently confirmed that Cyberpunk 2077‘s launch date will move to this Fall.
In a statement posted to Twitter, the developer said that while the sprawling RPG is “complete and playable,” they need more time for “playtesting, fixing, and polishing” to make it “perfect”:
We are currently at a stage where the game is complete and playable, but there’s still work to be done. Night City is massive – full of stories, content and places to visit, but due to the sheer scale and complexity of it all, we need more time to finish playtesting, fixing and polishing. We want Cyberpunk 2077 to be our crowing achievement for this generation and postponing launch will give us the precious months we need to make the game perfect.
Seems like a missed opportunity not to use “breahtaking” in place of “perfect,” but it is what it is. Cyberpunk 2077 is currently in development for the PC, PS4, and Xbox One, and it’ll be released on September 17.
